I'm officially off maternity leave and back at work now. By back I mean I work a total of 24 hours a week, all from home. It sounds like a dream life but trust me when I say its not as easy as it sounds.
Yesterday I had a neighbor girl come over and watch Charlie in the morning so I could work. I kept Annie with me downstairs so I could nurse her and so our new babysitter wouldn't be too overwhelmed and never come back.
Then after a break for lunch Matt's Grandma came over for the afternoon and watched both kids for me.
Took a break for dinner and baths and books.
Then put the kids to bed and I worked for another hour.
So I started at about 8:00 a.m., finished at about 10 p.m., and clocked in a total of 7 hours.
It was a long day but worth it because I could have lunch with my 2 year old, nurse my baby without lugging around a pump, wear sweats, and not spend half my paycheck on gas!
